Intro:
Hi again! This deck im going to show u is something that many have requested. Even after the nerfs i felt like the meta is still quite boring and i wanted to add something interesting in it that would compete with current biggest threats on latter: aggro paladin, cubelock, bigspellpriest and secret mage. Once again this meant that the deck had to have both controll to block aggro -decks and finisher to win heavyer controll decks.
Data:
This decktype have climbed me from frank 10 to rank 5 with succesfully high winrate of 72%. From rank 5 foreward it have been more difficult and i have made many variations of the deck before i finally ended to this one.
Most of loses are againts bigspell priest (with dragons) and most of wins are againts cubelock and dudepaladin.
I see the deck potential, but also wery fun to play. I would not recommend this variation to unexperienced players. Games are intence and require a lot of knowledge of current meta and each opponents abilityes.
Edited 28.2.2018: Hit the legend rank with over 100 games and 60% winrate from rank 5 http://prntscr.com/il12xw
Added 10.3.2018: Deck got aired YouTube By Trolden and By Daily Heartstonen Funny Moments as a first video:

What is the plan vs
aggro decks: The plan is simply to carry out the Awaken the Makers -quest while slowing your opponent down with your minions like Mistress of Mixtures and Plated Beetle. Then there is heavy broard control spells like Dragonfire Potion and Spirit Lash (with possible Bloodmage Thalnos upgrade). Also card Twilight's Call helps u gaining your quest points same time as reviving usefull deathrattle effects that help you to maintain your ground. When u finally fulfill your quest u may want to drop the Amara, Warden of Hope when your sure that you can recycle it back to your hand with cards like Youthful Brewmaster and/or Zola the Gorgon. The optimal combo is to first drop Amara, Warden of Hope then take a copy of its body with Zola the Gorgon and then return Zola to your hand with Youthful Brewmaster to keep the 8,8 body on the field each time. With these cards u have chance to revive your hp up to 160 in one game. While doing this, only thing u need to do is outresourcing your opponent, example Shadowreaper Anduin is a great tool for that. This is the easy part.
Control decks: Now it gets interesting. With slower decks we want to draw our wincondition fast and same time carry out the quest while controlling the board. Loot Hoarder and Bloodmage Thalnos are great cards to do just that. They can be multibled with Mirage Caller and then revived with Twilight's Call to maxium card draw. We want to draw Lorewalker Cho and King Togwaggle and gain atleast (recommendation) 2 Coin's from Gilded Gargoyle. Shadowreaper Anduin is also good to have in hand before u do the combo. The combo is to swap decks with your opponent permanently while you are ahead of the draw of your deck so that your opponent starts to fatigue before you do. Also this method may ruin your opponents gameplay or otk -combos. To maintain the lead on the card draw, we can also fill their deck with their minion with spell Psychic Scream.
Combo example: Your opponent haves 8 cards in their hand. You drop first Lorewalker Cho and then play 2 Coin's so your opponents handsize is now 10. After this you just play King Togwaggle to swap the decks. This leaves your opponent without the King's Ransom adn the ability to swap decks back.
Combo example 2: Your opponent haves 4 cards in their hand. You duplicate Lorewalker Cho with Mirage Caller and then play 3 Coin's giving your opponent 6 Coin's total to make their handsize to 10 cards before dropping King Togwaggle.
When doing this combo you may want to have atleast few recycling options to your Amara, Warden of Hope and some boardcontrolling tools to stop your opponents last efforts.
Notes:
-Mirage Caller and Shadow Visions are great flexible cards that you can choose to use differently depending on what kind of anemy you are facing.
- Againts slow decks you dont have to play every deathrattle minion that u hold in your hand. You should keep your mind on those cards you want to revive later with Twilight's Call.
- Even if we leave them some of our cards when playing King Togwaggle they usually cant create any threats to us, because our deck is mainly quest- and def- oriented. This is why swapping decks can be a defensive move againts more aggressive control decks as cubelock.
- Gilded Gargoyle can be quite defensive despite how it looks. Coins can be used to activate boardclears early againts aggro and they can activate secremages Counterspell's also.
- Combo recipe: Bloodmage Thalnos + Mirage Caller + Spirit Lash = 7 -mana, deal 3dmg to all minions, clear the board, heal minium 9hp to max ~30hp AND draw 2 cards. That's a Ultimate Infestation but for priest.
- Deck has fairly little card draw, unless you succesfully combo cards like Loot Hoarder and Bloodmage Thalnos with Mirage Caller and Twilight's Call. I personally always try to get card draw to my opening hand who ever im againts with.
Added 4.3.2018:
- I have started to play this deck with different variations By replacing both Crystalline Oracle's. They are good cards in certain matchups, maybe they bring you some "meat" on the board or maybe some useful control spells. But too often i have found myself in a situation where they give me too expensive or useles cards like Doomguard that i cant play and remove space from my hand to my more usefull cards from deck.

I feel like because of Thaurisan a deck with that,velen and mind blast would probably be better. Also you could then cut the gargoyles for maybe explosive sheep also adding lightbomb could be good.
I like the idea of power shield ! What did you cut instead ?
Enjoy an epic seminar game i played with this deck!!!! I think it's the ultimate use of its ability!!! The most exciting game till the very end of it!!! Notice i played Amara 4 times!!! LoL!!!!

It was at this point every f2p player here realized he was at least 6k dust away from crafting this deck and regretted his life decisions.
I'm a f2p player never spent a dime but I have all the cards in this deck.
Hi Shamaniac, I tried the deck and it is very nice against dude and murloc Pally (the only ones I faced with it). Just a quick note: you put a couple of videos of wins against "Controlocks", however I would be interested in seeing how this deck deals with real "Cubelocks".
I guess that the only way of dealing with Innerfire Priests (and Jade Druids too) would be to tech a Skulking Geist, as silence effects may not be so reliable, what do you think?
Hi I realize I am not Shamaniac but thought I would share some of my thoughts. I don't think that teching in a skulking geist would be a good idea in this deck, probably not horrible but it would just not help in so many matchups that I don't think it would be worth the slot, you definitely try it out and it might be good. There are other ways to deal with combo priest and jade druid although they are very tough matchups. But if you can get the combo off before they kill you you should be able to out value them with their decks.
Also here are some of my replays aginst cubelock

Don't know ho well i played them but I am 10-3 against warlock Some of them i probably didn't need to play all of my non drawing deathrattles when did.
I've played 2 games against cubelock with this deck so far and lost one and won the other. For me it was a matter of how fast I could get the combo off and what ended up being left in each deck. In the first game he had drawn most of his important cards including both Doomguards and Gul'dan. In the 2nd match however I got the combo off earlier and Gul'Dan was still in the deck. He did get Anduin from my deck but Gul'dan and Amara + Brewmaster could outlast anything he could produce.
I don't mind at all thanks for the feedback
I wanted to hear some peoples' mulligan strategies.
1. When to keep dragonfire potion against mage.
2. When to keep spirit lash against paladin.
3. When to keep Shadow visions.
4. When to keep Twilight's call.
5. When to keep combo pieces against control decks.
I Haven't been keeping any of these other than twilight's call if i already have loot hoarder or bloodmage thalnos.
I put Toggwaggle into my Mill Rogue deck and occasionally destroy other rogues, bigpriests, anything with long games that doesn't use weapons.
I played some games with it. Mostly lost evrything but i played one against control Mage and it was a seminar game for playing this game!!! It was amazing, i wish you could see my game and you would admire it. I don't know how and if i can post it here. I have it in my replays in HDT. If anyone knows how i would post it... You would be amazed!!!
Yeah if you click on stats>Constructed>Matches>Select The Game>Replay it should open a webpage all you have to do is copy the link.
Check out this game

Question for Shamaniac : in your game against Kaiser, he was controllock, on turn 2 u didn't play your beetle and u didn't play it on turn 3 either. are you waiting for other DR cards? like Loot Hoarder? on turn 4 you only played the Loot Hoarder. Are these slow plays because controllock is slow? I m curious what the thought process is for that play? thx in advance for your reply.
Despite of how much I like the idea of the deck and the fact that I would want it to work and be competitive, good luck with outdrawing vs jade druid.
This deck needs better card draw and I'm trying to make it happen...
Well, Jade Druid is like 2,5% of the meta right now and at higher ranks it's only 1.5% so I wouldn't lose sleep over that matchup.
nm, delete
I was playing yesterday vs you i was spell hunter you played this deck and i lost
Thanks for the creative fun deck!
